No TV shows for Big B

By Subhash K. Jha Mumbai, March 10 (IANS) Contrary to a report that Big B plans to do a game show on TV, Amitabh Bachchan, busy with various film assignments, has no intentions of going into television in the near future. “Bachchan has no plans for television right now. After the spectacular success of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, there was no dearth of assignments on television. At one point, three or four channels were vying for his exclusive presence. He was even toying with the idea of doing a soap on a friendly channel,” a source close to the Bachchans told IANS.

Television for now is a thing of the past for the Big B who will be seen in “Bhootnath”, “God Tussi Great Ho” and “Sarkar Raj”.

“The workload and the stress put on his energy level by professional and social commitments do not permit him the luxury of dabbling in television at the moment. Maybe later,” the source said.
